Stoked!!!!! heres a peak at the new project my room mates buddy picked up, 81 cb900f. He wasn't around and hasn't done anything yet so me and the roomie took it upon ourselves to get inspired. put the carbs back on after a good cleaning got it to fire up (after sitting for almost 12 years!!) and just started messin with seat ideas and pulled the old cowl off the original seat pulled it forward and voila!!! turned the old bars upside down for aesthetic reasons only. Certainly diggin the outcome. Build thread to follow soon. Peace
Oh ya the lucky fucker only paid $250 for the bike!!!!!

... stared for a couple of hours at this...
I got this from another member of DTT here in S. Ontario. I looked and looked for one of these back a few years ago when I was building the KZZXR, but couldn't locate one for any money!!
Now, I don't have a solid plan yet, but I've gotta feeling something cool could grow from this small beginning!
Thanks Barry...
... I'm gonna spend a few hours laying awake thinkin' about this one!

For anyone who reads THE HORSE, in the words of GTP " Stock bikes and bought pussy are the same thing, theres just no real satisfaction when you ride 'em"

Therapy is expensive. Riding is cheap. You decide.
Organized the workbench, forgot it was there for a while. Notice the carb rack off to the right... The whited out sign to the left is an old Navy sign "Engine room must be manned at all times".

Standard gearhead.
Big appreciation for the American-style cars here, bradj. Nothings really integrated like the Japanese and some Euro stuff, and you can generally rebuild everything with reasonable ease and keep the thing going indefinitely. Plus the larger engine bays are awesome to work in.
On the weekend I roasted a few hundred grams of coffee (Papua New Guinean 'Wahgi' double-A grade) and put down a batch of homebrewed beer which should come out as a maltier, hoppier & generally 'more badass' version of Heineken.
The bikes have been neglected. The GSX is not starting, and I think the wiring is fried on the starter circuit. I'm de-registering it so I can get a few hundred bucks back, seeing as I'm not riding it (oil consumption; needs rings/valve seals). The XR is going well but needs the tail light and headlamp globe replaced before it goes in for rego inspection in a week or two. Still waiting on the new CDI and performance camshaft for it.

cleaned my bench up, hung up some tools, made a valve spring compressor (which works... kinda) practiced welding, practiced burning my bench, spent an hour cleaning crankcase (stupid fucking sludge takes FOREVER to clean! still not done..).
overall was a good time.

mucked with the seat a little, cleaned a little and I just layed some FG on it to strengthen where I widened it down the center.
Gotta figure out where to order a tire now...
